Caught the tail end of the Bluebonnets at the trail.

White Wine Mushroom Pesto Salad

Came back tonight from the hell, aka "Pilates", whew,  one piece! I couldn't feel my body at all so I called out for pesto to calm myself down.

Nova (#1 Bear)

The first week after rescuing her. It clicked the moment I looked into her eyes,
and it all makes sense now that I know we will be connected forever

Love Pig #1

Nova, female, 8 years old, mixed breed. We found her on the beach with 7 other pups when we lived on a remote island in Thailand. She was the runt, got pushed out, small enough to fit in my palm. Her whole body was covered in fleas and ticks, she was weak and struggling to breath. We didn't think she was going to make it, she had so little strength... The heat was brutal, she wouldn't move, eat, open her eyes while the other puppies were so playful, at least twice of her size and much stronger, healthier looking. All we knew was she could die at any moment.

How I love to spend my weekend; BBQing in our backyard! I'm embracing the TX summer tradition. It would only be more perfect if there was a pool, or better yet, a beach. Positive thinking, always.

Pesto

The wait felt like a century long....  finally we got enough of basil in the backyard that I could make pesto.
